What is the purpose of claw blades?

[J_Curd]

you can do a better job defensively with a portable corkscrew.opinion was from a working professional. surprise is the best advantage.

If you were surprising them, you wouldn't be defending now would you. Yes, a monkey could stab someone to death with a corkscrew if they had the jump on the target. That's rather obvious.

Hawkbills are great for self-defense, simple, efficient, effective.

If anyone tells you otherwise they have no clue about what they are taking about.

I read in a book ( I believe "Armed Response") that if you can get one, a knife with a pink handle will look much less scary to a jury than a black handle and it will be just as functional. Just don't show it to your friends.
